Purpose and Course Outline This course introduces project management as a new profession. This course focuses on how to use basic quantitative methods and organizational theories to achieve project management goals.

More advanced courses are available in the graduate school to learn these practical issues. Outline This course is organized in ten lectures: 1. Introduction 2. Strategic management and project selection 3. Project planning: system development tools and techniques 4. Project scheduling: critical path method 5. Project scheduling: PERT 6. Cost-loaded schedule and its applications 7. Estimating project costs 8. Path constraint and resource allocation 9. Managing resource constraints and critical chain 10.
